D05-6. A PHYSICAL PRESENCE. "Yes luv, more bon bons?" he meekly replied when she slammed her ham hock fist down on the dinner table, rattling the plates, cups and saucers. Her diminutive husband, although he stood nearly six feet tall, shuffled over to the cupboard, feeling the pain of her penetrating brown eyes on the crown of his balding head. I wonder which daguerreian drew the short straw, to have the pleasure of producing this extraordinary sixth plate that Casey has archivally restored? She certainly was a large and rather robust woman, I would wager. I wonder what that small object held in her hand and pressed against her arm was? Might have been her wallet, a personal sized bible or just a little black book, accentuated with gold. Can you imagine this um lady with a, hee hee "black book" filled with addresses of her . . . Sorry I digress. There are strong mat abrasions along the bottom and right side. A few flecks and specks are on the surface along with nice patina. The maker earned his coin the day she was taken and even added pleasant colors to her face and chins, along with more paint on her ribbons. Not for the faint at heart, she is kept in a complete leather case embossed with a young, lithe maiden scattering roses! Truly a mismatch if I ever saw one, but that's how I purchased the piece. $185
